they will both get you fired

just because one is worse than the other doesn't mean that one of them isn't NSFW

pot is illegal--therefore it should remain illegal
right?

just because people are stupid and get offended by words doesn't mean that's the way to go
the "SFW/NSFW" thing isn't perfect--no one said it was--you're just being a pedant

NSFW is pretty clear - if your boss were to look what's on your screen at any given moment, would he find it acceptable?

Having a screen with Vien's/Naoto's avatar on it would get you fired.
Having a screen with vulgar language like "fuck" and "pussy" and all that would get you fired.
Having a screen with racist language like "nigger" and "lawn monkey" and all that would get you fired.
Having a screen with ableist language like "retard" or "autist" would probably get you fired.

There's really no way to make this forum SFW in the first place without dramatically changing it, which is why trying to do that in any capacity is dumb.

NSFW is pretty clear - if your boss were to look what's on your screen at any given moment, would he find it acceptable?

I just said--any boss who's going to get his panties in a bunch over simple words is a total fucktard

porn is a different story

First of all, this isn't about your opinion. I guarantee you that 90% of modern bosses would fire you immediately if they saw you had the word "nigger" on your screen in almost any context. It doesn't matter if you agree with that or not, it still makes the word nigger NSFW.

And secondly, as a side note, please tell me how the human body is more ethically condemnable than words of hatred and racism to you.

Because you just contradicted yourself in your argument with Class. Slash didn't.

uhhh

when

probably never
I doubt you even know what contradict means

But then you went a step further and tried to make up for it by saying there are varying degrees of NSFW material, even though we all know full well saying "nigger" a couple times would get you fired just the same as the profile pictures.

and it shouldn't

which is what I've been saying

You also have a history of thinking your opinions are fact.

except I don't?

just because i'm not a capitulating pussy who feels the need to add "but that's just my opinion " at the end of every single one of his posts, doesn't mean that I think my opinions are facts--duh

it just means that i'm not insulting your intelligence

you should be able to tell the difference between an opinion and a fact, and if me "stating my opinions as facts" offends you, you should stop using the internet

Holy Christ on the cross.

NSFW images and links should be in spoilers

And we don't need a word filter

so we should be like dumbfuck bosses who are offended by words

that's what you're saying

okay

Uh, that's what you're saying. You never said you wanted lewd avatars banned for your own personal reasons, you said you wanted them banned specifically because they make the site NSFW. I would argue that a boss who is going to get offended by the human body is more of a dumbfuck than a boss who is offended by words, but I can still concede that both are explicitly not safe for work. Again, your opinion doesn't matter. Any workplace is going to fire you if they see that you have a screen with a bunch of racials slurs on it just as fast as they would if you had a screen with a girl's clothed ass on it. It doesn't matter if you think that's dumbfuckery, it's still how the modern workplace sees it. You're against pictures because they're not safe for work, but NSFW words are acceptable? That's hypocrisy, plain and simple.

because "nigger" isn't a word of hatred and racism on its own

it's an n
followed by an I
followed by two g's
an e
and an r

that's all it is

once you CALL someone a nigger, with vitriolic intent, then you have yourself a bannable offense

this isn't complicated

Oh my god, please don't try to argue that certain words don't carry negative social values with them inherently. This is beneath you.

So many jimmies would be rustled if "nigger" got filtered here since that is probably one of our most used words.

But it doesn't matter what should and shouldn't be. It's just the way it is.

it's different in the sense that we have an opportunity to be better than that

Now you're just being pedantic. Of course no mythical sky king assigns meanings to words, we humans do. To claim, however, that that means all words are immune from being offensive is naive and ridiculous. The word nigger is racist. The word fuck is a swear. These are staples of our society, whether you like it or not. What's NSFW is subjective, yes, but I challenge you to find a legitimate employer who's fine with the N-word being used on company servers. I think it would be easier to find an employer who's fine with porn, actually. Cheat doesn't determine what's SFW, logic does. The word nigger and fuck are socially inherently NSFW; it doesn't matter if you disagree with that.

who's treating their opinions as facts now, tblocks? why aren't you calling class out? hmm?

This is not my opinion. This is the opinion of people in general. They're offensive words, and they would get you fired if you consistently used them casually around the workplace. Hence why I said "socially inherently".

if you don't care about my standards, or cheat's standards, why should I give one single fuck about the average dumbfuck employer's?

Because you care about what's safe for work, and "dumbfuck employers" apparently make up 90% of the job market if you define them as employers who will fire you for saying nigger.

Quote from: SecondClass on August 25, 2015, 06:27:40 PM

This is the opinion of people in general.

so... you're appealing to the majority, then

again, i don't really give a fuck what most people think, if most people are stupid

"Safe for work" inherently refers to what people think of things. If every employer on the planet suddenly changed their opinion about boobs, then boobs would cease to become NSFW.

Because you care about what's safe for work,

By MY standards.

Not yours, not his--mine.

Oh my God, are you fucking kidding me?

This whole time you've been arguing you're against suggestive avatars because they're NSFW

but really you're against them because you don't like them....why did you not just say that to begin with lmao

Or both.
